Haul is a record for fundraising in this period for a Colorado Senate candidate
| Today, John Hickenlooper announced that his campaign for United States Senate raised $3.7 million from April 1 to June 10th, the most ever for a Colorado Senate candidate during this pre-primary period. The campaign will also report $5.9 million cash on hand. The average grassroots contribution to his campaign during this period was $24. Among the campaign’s 36,000 donors are 1,101 educators, 8 yoga instructors, 2 woodworkers, 2 violinists, a traveling wind technician, a spice merchant, 154 scientists, and a comic book writer. “I am thankful for the support of our grassroots army during these difficult times,” said Hickenlooper. “Republicans have already started spending millions of dollars to attack me in their attempt to save Senator Cory Gardner. But Mitch McConnell’s ads can’t change the facts: Senator Gardner has sided with Trump 100% of the time and failed to be the independent voice he promised Coloradans he’d be. This pandemic has underscored the need for change in a broken Washington, and I aim to bring that change.” |
